Hong Kong's Crypto Ambitions Receive Guarded Reception from Digital Asset Companies

Hong Kong's ambition to become a crypto hub has received a guarded reception from digital asset companies, who remain cautious about the city's regulatory framework for the industry.

While the new regulatory regime for virtual assets has gone into effect, placing a greater burden on exchanges in the city, interest from crypto firms hoping to gain a foothold in Hong Kong remains high. However, concerns around the sustainability of the new regulatory framework and the city's regulatory ambiguity on crypto remain a major concern.

    On September 28th, the European Commission released a tender contract worth 800,000 euros (approximately $842,000) aimed at mitigating the "significant harm" that cryptocurrency poses to the environment. The research, which will end on November 10th, will establish standards that will be incorporated into potential future EU policies to curb the impact of cryptocurrency on climate change and develop new energy efficiency labels for blockchain. The European Commission stated in the tender document that "there is evidence that crypto-assets can cause significant damage to the climate and the environment," which could undermine the EU's greenhouse gas reduction targets, indicating that new sustainable development standards may be adopted in the future. EU legislators are concerned about the energy-intensive PoW consensus mechanism that supports blockchain such as Bitcoin. The EU's research will be completed within a year and will study green issues related to the use of water, waste, natural resources, and energy by cryptocurrencies. (CoinDesk)
